I have never been for annoyed or frustrated with a character as I was with Dega in this film. Very slow and really no action.

not bad

Trash, dont waste your money try something else.

Must watch film

But for all the period detail, characters are a little too healthy and well-scrubbed to be convincing and the actual look of the film is video-flat and dull — ugly.

Movie Nation

Mr. Malek gives an eccentric performance, but he won’t make anyone forget Dustin Hoffman, whose original Dega was an endearing coward, a fatalist and a masterpiece.

John Anderson

Wall Street Journal

A sumptuous-looking but slow-moving prison drama that at times will have you dreaming about an escape of your own.
